This article was a good reminder for me to cancel my PlayStation plus premium membership before it renewed itself at the start of December. I’m really not using It enough to justify paying for another year of the premium tier. After I finished with the guardians of the galaxy game and ff7 there wasn’t much else to

I think it’s extremely funny that Gamefreak has kept the same soundfiles from the days of the Game Boy for the cries of the Pokémon. Gastly still has the same chip tune white noise sound from Pokémon red and blue. 

Do games even come with Paper manual booklets anymore? They seemed to stop with the PS4 which is a real shame. 

I’d play a video game set in a photo realistic Amsterdam where I have to go to the local shops. bakery and the flower shop so I can surprise my friends with a delicious lunch in the park.

Yeah if you need to do a preflight check list before you put on a headset then the technology is fundamentally doomed. Facebook has failed to learn the simple lesson of the Gameboy of 30 years ago. It was a big success because anyone could pick it up and play it. 

Now playing

Like the only way I could see this thing being a success is if it was mostly built on user generated content and blatant IP infringement and theft. Like a bigger version of Garry’s Mod or VR chat. Like if you want to have your VR world be a big success make it possible to be Garfield or Vegeta or Wallace from Wallace

This shit is just Hummel figurines for weebs 

The collapse of Meta is probably going to be one of the biggest corporate bankruptcies in history. Like Enron and Penn Central big. It’s also going to be very funny. 

Hey if Nintendo are going to keep charging $60 for ten year old games on their e-store then I don’t blame people for shopping around to get a deal 

The thing is that we aren’t the target audience for these things. The target audience is for moronic Tech CEOs who will waste astronomical amounts of money buying VR headsets and forcing all their employees to use them. They’ll use the headsets for a couple of weeks until they start getting Broken and the staff start

The ‘Metaverse’ is fundamentally doomed because you’re never going to get Facebooks core audience of racist Aunts to put on a VR headset.

Mario looks weird to me and I think it’s the Eye shape. They’ve clearly changed the proportions of Mario’s face to make it more expressive. I’m not sure why but Luigi looks way better to me than Mario to my eyes Luigi doesn’t have this issue to the same extend I think it’s because his face is longer and more cartoony

Theres definitely fans of the Venture bros on the writing staff of She Hulk. The line where Daredevil explains the difference between goons and henchmen could have been straight from the mouth of Henchman 21. Leapfrog felt like a reject from the League of Calamitous Intent 

You’d last 5 minutes during a lunch rush. 

what NOPE did to advance day for night cinematography, House of the Dragon just set it back 10x more. This episode looked fucking dreadful

Hey you know the way you’ve spent the past couple of weeks learning the names of interchangeable characters in bad Halloween wigs?

Makes you wonder about how many early VR games are now lost media because they are only compatible with clunky early VR headsets. 

This really feels like slim pickings. I know that the Covid years have been hard on the video games industry but there’s really not that much exciting here. 

If anyone wants a really good exploration of how Dragons could be utilised in Warfare then I recommend Naomi Novik’s Temeraire series. It’s basically an alternate history where the Napoleonic Wars are fought with dragons. Because both the English and the French have air forces, warfare is totally different. Think
